INSTRUCTIONS:
1. (NOTE: An adult should perform this step; children should never handle sharp knives.) Cut foam ball in half with serrated knife; for easier, smoother cutting, wax knife blade first with old candle.
2. Paint one half ball desired color. Reserve remaining half for a future project.
3. Using pattern, cut the bill from craft foam. Glue half ball to bill, positioning cap so back corners of craft foam are just covered and bill extends at front.
4. Personalize cap by gluing foam letters to spell name centered on front of bill.
5. Cut out desired images from magazines and comics. Arrange and glue these cutouts and other mementos to baseball cap as desired.
